visiting the beach

...and brocolby.

Two words our family uses, because at some point in the past a child got them mixed up, or couldn't say them.

I think most families have a couple of these.

What are yours?

‘Buttons’ for the remote

My wee brother is autistic and always called them buttons when he was young, so now we all do. Even my husband has picked it up

Nobody in my family says soup, we all refer to it as chloup because a family friend had a lisp and that was how she used to say it.

Sadly Aunty Jean died years ago, but my cousin's kids (who were born years after she died) also say it the same way with no clue as to the reason!

Ahh, that's sweet.

Everyone in my family always respond to the question "do you want some cake" with the answer "just a finger".

It's what my nana always said, my kids and grandkids never met her, but still say it. It always makes me smile.

A family friend always called spaghetti, pisgetti, because she couldn’t say it.

She is in her 50’s and we all still laugh about it. Because she still can’t say it!

Paddyhinkle is certainly one of the oddest so far!
